The health benefits of millets: A nutritional powerhouse

Author(s): Dr. Suman Kumari
Abstract:
Millets are considered an important source of nutrients because of their anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties, in addition to containing some essential vitamins. Certain demographics are starting to favour these functional foods more and more minerals (Fe, Cu, Mg, Ca, Zn), thiamine, riboflavin, and beta-carotene (found in yellow pearl millets). Millets have been found to be helpful for a number of medical diseases, such as celiac disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus, gastrointestinal tract issues, and malnutrition. Millets continue to be the staple diet of millions of underprivileged people in Asia and Africa. Although it isn't currently included in North American and European food baskets as one of the staple grains globally, millet highlights its worth as a component of gluten-free and multigrain grain products. The importance of millet and its part in managing illness have been thoroughly covered in this review.
